FAQs
What is a blanking panel used for?
A blanking panel is used to fill empty spaces in a server rack. This improves airflow by preventing hot air recirculation and enhances the rack's overall appearance by creating a uniform look.
What does '2U' mean?
'2U' refers to two rack units of vertical space in a standard 19-inch rack. One rack unit is equivalent to 1.75 inches (44.45mm) in height. Therefore, a 2U panel is 3.5 inches (88.9mm) tall.
Are screws and cage nuts included?
The product description indicates the blanking panel set itself. Standard rack mounting screws and cage nuts are typically sold separately and are required for installation.
What material is the blanking panel made of?
The blanking panel is made from high-quality sheet steel.
How many blanking panels are in this pack?
This pack contains two Rittal blanking panels.
Can this panel be used in non-standard racks?
This panel is designed specifically for standard 19-inch server racks. Compatibility with non-standard racks is not guaranteed.
What is the weight of the product?
The weight of the product (both panels combined) is approximately 610 grams.
Troubleshooting
Panel does not fit securely.
Ensure you are using standard rack screws and cage nuts. Verify the rack is a true 19-inch standard. Check for any obstructions in the rack mounting holes.
Panel arrives damaged.
Contact the supplier immediately to arrange for a replacement. Inspect packaging upon delivery.
Difficulty aligning screw holes.
Slightly loosen adjacent rack rails or other installed equipment to allow for minor adjustments. Ensure the panel is correctly oriented.
